Hancock

[GL1]

well i guess you just had to be there then... the execs were not happy and seemed very concerned as if they knew it was going to fail anyway... one even told me she felt it's a lost cause... so whatev... i just get tired of people acting like i don't know what i'm talking about

What you're saying doesn't lead to the conclusions you're making. It's not a trust thing or an intelligence thing, you're just giving incomplete lines of logic, that's all.

We established a while back that Peter Berg has a history of making great movies that freak out execs. Their lack of confidence, in this case, is irrelevant.

On the 80s scenes vs 80 years of inexplicable depression... In your opinion, how many lines would have to be changed to take away the implication that he had "never really played superhero?" Two lines? Three?

In your opinion, how many lines would have to be changed to imply that Bateman's Character modeled the costume on Hancock's "80s Costume?" Could an 'missing line' from the scene where gives the costume to Hancock do this?

On the other side, spidey... just because YOU didn't like it, it doesn't mean the movie's crap. Ever since you've seen Hancock, you made your damn opinion a FACT... You're important, we got it... Next!

 

[GL1]

To be fair... he did say it was a good movie, just not great.

playing superhero before or not is irrelevant... i honestly don't see how that part helps the movie... its charlize and han***** characters prior to 80 years ago that need to be focused on, not a random event in the 80's

lol thanks for noticing . I notice people have a really hard time taking criticism for a movie they want to see... open mind people... just remember like most movies.. what may suck to some, or even most, you may still like

Dang... You've just confirmed a suspicion, and I was trying to get through spoiler free-ish. Good times. I'm out before I learn too much more.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

lol you can see Charlize with powers flipping a truck in one of the trailers... it's hardly a secret

all will smith movies do well at the box office.... doesn't mean there all good though.

well if people think charlize would take this roll just to be a small character then there dumb... lol, i saw her role coming a mile away.

I'd say I loved 90% of them. Except for Pursuit of Happiness. Which was a great movie...just not MY kind of movie....

 

[Dark Donnie]

Will Smith rarely if ever makes a bad film, I personally didn't like MIB2, other then that....

Sounds like a hindsight bias to me.

Liked:
Independence Day
Men in Black


Liked but overall was a bad movie:
Wild Wild West
Men in Black 2
Hitch


Hated:
Badboys
Badboys 2
Enemy of the State
I robot
I am Legend (people cared more about the dog then anyone in the movie, and the books ending was a billion times better, they bastardized it and used horrible CGI)
Hancock (i didn't hate it... but didn't love it)

Good film, but not my cup of tea:
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Ali
Pursuit of Happyness

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Maybe Bad Boys and Badboys II can go under not you're cup of tea?

I mean, they were really genre films hitting a certain demographic. Which is something alot of his films seem to do, I think.

Which makes a problem sometimes for telling how good a movie, ever since genres have become so obvious, it's as if certain flicks cater to only one type. It's just strange how that works nowadays.

Han****.

Again that is your opinion, but I would venture to say that the majority of people disagree with you

I really don't know whats to hate about Bad Boys 1 or 2 to be honest. The films accomplished what they set out to do. They were entertaining action films, with some real funny moments. I don't think it set out to win oscars. Also I personally loved Enemy of the State, thought it was a pretty good thriller with good performances from Smith and Hackman.

Others, I Am Legend I thought was a good film, people get so hung up on the source material. I could honestly care less how the book ended. I enjoyed this ending. While I agree the CGI wasn't spectacular, I don't think it hindered the film. With Hitch I thought it was a good romantic comedy and Smith and Mendes had some pretty good chemistry together.

 

[Warhammer]

You already saw Hancock?

 

[Dark Donnie]

You already saw Hancock?

Yeah he saw an early screening

 

[Warhammer]

Ahh, gotcha. I went back and read the news of reshooting, too. Either way, I just hope the final cut is good.

You hated I am Legend?! First one that I've seen!

And Hancock I prefer to watch before say something.

I think you really have to try hard to hate Will Smith. Really, you do. Most movies he's been in, even if they bombed, he did a decent job in, he has a likeable presence. That's all that is.
